EDITORS COMMENTS
plate two from Jacob van der Heyden's series "The Five Senses," is an exquisite antique engraving and etching in black on ivory laid paper. This masterpiece, created by the Flemish artist, dates back to an undetermined period. The monochromatic image, with its intricate details and fine lines, transports us back in time. The circular composition of the print centers around a female figure with an elegant head and shoulders portrait. She is depicted with a serene expression, her eyes closed in deep concentration as she focuses on the sense of sound. In her hands, she holds a lute, a stringed musical instrument, which she plays with the skill of a professional lutenist. The intricate lettering in Latin script surrounding the image reads, "Sensus Sonus," translating to "The Sense of Sound." This engraving and etching is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the arts. It is a conceptual depiction of the five human senses, with sound being the second sense represented. The image is a stunning example of the artistic techniques of the time, with the intricate details and textures captured in the black and white medium. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, museum, or institute. It is a beautiful work of art that invites us to ponder the importance of our senses and the role they play in our lives. The figure's peaceful expression and the intricately detailed musical instrument create a scene that resonates with the viewer, inviting us to appreciate the world around us through the sense of sound. Jacob van der Heyden's "Sound," plate two from "The Five Senses," is a timeless piece of art that continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its intricate details, historical significance, and conceptual depth. It is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for art, history, and the human experience.
